Pagan had back surgery in September to repair a bulging disk and nerve damage. His recent neck issues is not considered serious, and not connected to his offseason procedure.

Pagan had back surgery in September to repair a bulging disk and nerve damage, and as a result, he was unavailable during the Giants' World Series run. Pagan also noted that injuries won't cause him to be conservative on the field. He plans to "play at one speed" regardless of where he hits in the order.

"I just know how to play at one speed," Pagan said. "That's the way I'll keep playing."
